This book was such an interesting and well-written novella. I was able to read this in practically one sitting and it flew by.
I loved the character growth that happened in this memoir-esque fiction. It felt so real and I was definitely empathizing with the main character and her friends.
The writing in this book is absolutely beautiful. One thing I really loved about it was its repetition of memory, and how it played around that theme. There were some twists I didn't really see coming and the unreliability of the main characters memory really kept me on my toes.
Great and important story.
